MegaUpload Shut Down by FBI

Written by Pat's Papers | Friday, 20 January 2012 7:52 AM


MegaUpload is in some mega trouble. Homes of people involved with the popular video-sharing site were raided yesterday after the Justice Department accused the company of “conspiracy to commit copyright infringement.” Not named on the indictment was Swiss Beatz, the husband of Alicia Keys and allegedly MegaUpload’s CEO. In retaliation, the LA Times says the hacker group Anonymous has taken down the Justice department’s and Universal Music Group’s websites.
